New York state is considering building a subsea transmission backbone to support multiple offshore wind projects, and has announced an in-depth study that will look at the different approaches to transmission in the European offshore market.
With a 2.4GW offshore wind target for 2030, New York is planning to develop its market in two phases, starting with an initial 800MW request for proposals due later this year, followed by a larger second phase that will take a more deliberate approach to things like transmission.
